Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 641: patience

Views:

Several members of the "Old Tune Group" made their preparations and waited patiently for the Awakened person from the "Golden Balance" field to be forced out by his own asymmetry, and then give him a fatal blow.

Whether it is the "Six Senses Pearl" in Shang Jianyao's hands, the "Angel of Life" necklace in Jiang Baimian's place, or the lasers emitted by Long Yuehong's T1 robotic arm and Genava, The flame can achieve this purpose directly or indirectly.

At least until now, the "old tune group" has not seen any awakened person who is immune to physical damage, and at most can rely on the ability of interfering substances to make a certain degree of resistance.

Yan Hu, who is suspected to have entered the "new world", the dry corpse left on the island in the heart of the lake does not feel indestructible.

While waiting, the passage of time seemed to be slowing down. Long Yuehong watched the sunset outside the window sink a little bit, and the palm of her hand was sweating a lot. It was wet and slightly sticky.

"Why hasn't there been any movement yet?" he said while suppressing his voice.

The process of waiting for danger to come is more torturous than confronting danger.

The unknown always fuels fear.

Shang Jianyao replied with a smile:

"'Assassins' are always patient."

"But he should have a very serious symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder." Bai Chen retorted slightly.

What she meant was that in the face of so many asymmetrical things, the enemy's patience would definitely run out quickly, and he wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.

In the realm of the Awakened, finding the enemy often means taking a huge advantage.

Jiang Baimian pondered for a while and said:

"There is a high probability that he has a way to reduce the negative impact of the price within a certain period of time, but as long as we do not relax, he will sooner or later be unable to bear it."

At that time, the person selected by the "assassin" is likely to be severely injured, or even die on the spot... Long Yuehong silently added in his heart.

He didn't say it out of his mouth because it was an unavoidable problem at the moment.

Unless the "Old Tune Team" can catch the "assassin" one step ahead of time and lock him before he launches an attack, otherwise such a guy who has come and gone without a trace will really give up his life and is willing to exchange it for one First, to eliminate the monstrous anger caused by symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder, then someone on your side will inevitably be hurt.

Long Yuehong only hoped that with his full attention, the attacked person could respond in time and avoid the key points.

At this time, Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

"There is another possibility:

"The 'Assassin' has yet to lurk near us, waiting for another condensed power of the 'Nightmare', waiting for his companions to quietly modify our memories.

"When the situation changes, he will come close and harvest our lives."

Papapa, Shang Jianyao, who was holding the "Six Senses Pearl", applauded.

Jiang Baimian quickly issued a new order:

"From the time I started flipping through the key memories I wrote down, I contrasted them with what was going on in my head.

"After I finish, it's hello, after hello, it's Xiaobai, after Xiaobai, it's Xiaohong, and after Xiaohong, it's me, and the cycle goes on and on.

"Lao Ge, pay attention to the state of the viewer and the surrounding situation, and be prepared for the 'assassins' to seize the opportunity to attack."

As an intelligent robot, Genova is not afraid of having his memory modified or being attacked. Anyway, the "assassin" can't kill him with a single blow.

Having said that, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao's swollen half cheek, and said with a complicated expression:

"You are so cruel to yourself...

"How did you find it wrong, guessing that we were sleepwalking?"

Shang Jianyao pointed to the "Six Consciousness Pearl":

"It seemed to give me a certain sense of danger.

"I don't know if this is combined with the dream, in short, I didn't find it before."

"Perhaps it was influenced by the 'nightmare', and the abnormal atmosphere of the Buddhist holy place it was integrated into was inspired." Genova exhausted a variety of possibilities and stated the situation that he thought was the closest to reality after analysis.

Jiang Baimian said "um":

"The 'Dawn Stars' have always preached that they fought the 'Nightmare' in their dreams, guarding humanity.

"Aure mentioned that those who survived the destruction of the old world in the Eighth Institute were reduced to the lackeys of darkness.

"I now feel that there may be some connection between the two claims."

Therefore, the invasion of "Nightmare" can trigger the abnormal atmosphere of Buddhist holy places contained in the "Six Consciousness Pearl".

And this is likely to symbolize some essential element of the destruction of the old world.

They are exactly what the "Old Tune Group" is striving for.

Without saying anything more, Jiang Baimian took out the key memory he had written down and quickly flipped through it.

Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Genava did not relax their guard, and were still highly vigilant to pay attention to their companions and the situation around them.

One by one, when Long Yuehong flipped through the records, Jiang Baimian raised his left hand.

She glanced at it, and silently changed it to her right hand.

Then, she aimed at her stomach and punched.

Jiang Baimian's facial features shrunk to the middle, but soon stretched out again.

She looked around and exhaled in relief.

Bai Chen was a little surprised, and subconsciously wanted to ask a question.

In a second, she understood:

The team leader is preventing himself from entering a sleepwalking state.

In sleepwalking, the behaviors made in my dreams will be reflected in reality, so I can wake up myself through similar attempts!

As for the "real dream" and other situations, Jiang Baimian has an auxiliary chip to monitor the physical state. As soon as he finds it, he will immediately give corresponding stimulation.

At this time, Shang Jianyao turned the rosary:

"Namo Amu Tara Samak Sambodhi, you don't need to be a benefactor."

Jiang Baimian understood what he meant by the "Six Senses Pearl" reminder, and he didn't need to take extra precautions against sleepwalking.

"Double insurance." Jiang Baimian emphasized.

Shang Jianyao stopped talking. According to the plan just now, several members of the "Old Tune Team" took turns to monitor their own memory and identify sleepwalking while on high alert.

Time passed by, and night ruled the earth.

One hundred and fifty meters away from the "True Self Teaching" base, the apartment rented by the "Old Tunes Group", the small truck driven by Welf parked quietly beside a warehouse.

"Lan, how long do you want to wait?" Welf looked at the windows lit up in the distance and asked the people around him.

Xu Lan, who was wearing a denim jacket and a wide-brimmed felt hat, had already sat there in the previously unoccupied passenger seat.

She was leaning against the back of the chair, wearing an ancient gold ring on her left middle finger, her open eyes were empty and lacking in focus.

She is blind at the moment.

Since she can't see it, she will no longer be troubled by symmetrical obsessive-compulsive disorder.

But this is not absolute, if she touches an asymmetrical thing, it will also be unbearable.

For this reason, Xu Lan even wore a gold ring with the same shape but no special ability on the same position on his right hand.

Xu Lan is in a pretty good mood now, she smiled slightly:

"The longer you wait, the better.

"We are dark, they are bright, we can recharge our batteries, they must be vigilant enough, and can't relax in the slightest.

"In this state, their spirits and energy will be rapidly exhausted, and in a few hours, in the middle of the night, or when the sky is almost dawn, they will be close to the end of the battle."

Welf muttered:

"Hopefully as you said.

"Don't they choose to take turns resting?"

"It depends on whether they have the courage and determination. After all, we may launch an attack at any time." Xu Lan replied indifferently, "At least they won't know, because they are in the stronghold of the 'True Self Sect'. After this impact, they won't dream again in a short time, and we don't have to succeed within 24 hours, we can follow them and find better opportunities."

Welf chose to obey and did not dare to refute.

Xu Lan thought about it and asked:

"What was it that frightened you before, that they noticed that you were looking through their memories?"

Welf's face turned pale, as if walking through the ice field in winter.

He was silent for a while and said:

"That person's breath."

Xu Lan's body sat up straight:

"The one?"

"That one." Welf nodded very heavily.

On the top floor of the apartment of "True Self", in the room where the "Old Tunes Group" is located.

Long Yuehong glanced at the bright moon hanging outside the window and shook her head gently.

Hours of intense concentration left him feeling empty and unresponsive.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian pondered:

"Xiaohong, you and hello are going to rest now, and I and Xiaobai will take turns in three hours."

"Will this be too dangerous?" Long Yuehong asked subconsciously.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"I'm just on alert now, I haven't seen the enemy yet, so there's no need to be too nervous.

"Those senior employees of the security department know that the better you sleep before the war, the more likely you will win the battle, so even if you are surrounded and enemies may come from all directions at any time, they will find a space to sleep on the floor in batches.

"Don't worry, with Lao Ge there, he doesn't need to rest all day."

"As long as there is enough power." Shang Jian Yao Gang Genava added.

Jiang Baimian followed with a smile and said:

"We can still pull a power grid at the door and window. I don't believe that 'assassin' can penetrate the wall!"

-Bai Chen's infrasound exploration has long since stopped, which is too energy-consuming.

The honest Shang Jianyao quickly found the loophole in Jiang Baimian's sentence just now:

"Although he can't pass through the wall, he can bombard here with heavy firepower on the opposite side, in the distance, and kill us."

Jiang Baimian made a "heh":

"Then we can only pray that the statue of 'Dawn' will not be affected."

In her opinion, although the "True Self Cult" powerhouses are unwilling to fight against "Nightmare" without certainty, they will certainly not indulge the enemy to attack their own strongholds and affect the old idol.

Slap, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slammed his left palm:

"I have to add 'Dawn' to my all-day-old blessing map!"
